Fcpx not recognizing camera!

Fcpx is not recognizing my camera to import footage. I run a canon xha1 with minidv's. I bought a canon hv10 to transfer footage to fcpx on my imac 10.8.2 ,3.2 GHz, i3. Seems like ive tried everything. I am using a rocketfish 800 firewire ( 9 to 4 pin). Is there a sequence preset i have to change?? Its not working in imovie either.

Are both the same brand?
If not try any other brand.
I recall other users having issues with those cables.

Lightroom is not recognizing Camera raw.

I have Lightroom 2.3 & cannon 50D camera.
Whenever i am importing the raw files into Lightroom it is not recognizing it.
I have Camera raw 5.1 & 5.4 both.
I am using Vista 64 bit.

I am having the same problem. I have LR2 and it does not recognize my RAW images taken with Canon 50D. I also have a Canon Rebel xti, and there are no problems with LR2 recognizing Rebel Camera RAW files. I installed LR2.5 and the same problem continues with the 50D.
I am running Windows Vista 64bit (Home Edition). Adobe tech support is no help, they said there are no issues with LR2 associated with the 50D, so there must be something wrong with my camera.... but when searching the web, I have seen others say similar things regarding LR2 and canon 50D.
Anybody out there who can provide some real effective advice and help??

My eos not recognizing camera

Hi,
Fairly new user...tech newb. I have had my camera since June and have not had any problems with it until now. I took a few photos of my dog, came in to upload them to computer, and the camera is not recognized...nothing happens.
Thx for any help. I don't see a link to actual Canon support :-(

Hi ChewieZander,
Another device or program may be causing this.
Do you have any devices connected to the computer other than the camera?
Do you have any other image related applications or services running in the background (would appear in the system tray)?

Final Cut Not Recognizing Camera/Devices Connected Via FireWire

I have a Macbook and a Macbook Pro and I'm having the exact same issue with both of them. I'm trying to capture DV footage into Final Cut Pro 5 via a Sony Digital Video Cassette Recorder GV-D1000 NTSC, I've also tried capturing into iMovie with the firewire device not being recognized there either.
Device control is "FireWire NTSC Basic" and Capture/Input is "DV NTSC 48 khz" I've captured footage plenty of times and never had a problem until now. I've tried just about every audio/video setting there is including anamorphic as I saw suggested in a similar thread and nothing has changed. I've also tried different firewire cables, different devices including canon/sony and a panasonic cameras. When I connect a new device it shows "vtr ok" for a few seconds and then switches to "no communication". I've tried trashing my preferences and repairing permissions. I've updated quicktime/restarted the macs/unplugged the devices etc. I've also tried playing the tape on the sony box first and then opening FCP and attempting to capture, the footage stops playing and I get an error message that "video is not available". I'm capturing to a 500gb external harddrive that I've used before with no problems and is connected via usb. At one point it did allow me to start the capture now process, but it kept dropping a million frames and aborting, now it won't even let me get that far. I'm literally pulling my hair out, can some one PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME??!!?

Exactly what version of QT are you running now?...and FCP5.?
Have you tried the Guiness solution yet?..shut everything down and unplug, wait 15 minutes, plug all back in, then turn on camera/deck first.
Confirm that System Profiler recognizes the camera/deck and the deck is set in VTR mode (not camera mode), then open FCP.
Could be a bad FW port (have you tried other ports on the mac?)
Or, could be QT incompatibility...

IMovie 06 with Intel iMac not recognizing camera

I am using iMovie 06 and love it, however since I have been using it on my Intel iMac, iMovie will not recognize my Canon ZR 70. I thought that it was possibly not compatible, however at work we have an Intel iMac and are running the exact same version on iMovie and the camera is recognized. It is possible that when I installed iMovie 06 that I forgot to select recognize camera; is there a preference or something that I can toss to allow my iMovie to recognize the camera?

Eric,
I plugged the HD back in and went to Disk Utility....none of the buttons (Verify Disk, Repair Disk etc) are selectable, and the "Mount" button is also not clickable.
When this same hard drive is connected to the iBook, the name we've given it appears on the desktop and we can successfully use the device. On this iMac, the name doesn't appear, for example it shows
149.1 GB etc etc etc
Macintosh HD
409.4 GB Iomega
(name not shown)
Also, and what may be the problem, is that when I select the external HD and click "Info", it says S.M.A.R.T. Status is Not Supported. How can I get this to work?
Thanks

Premiere CC 2014 not recognizing Camera Raw edits on CinemaDNG footage

I'm using Camera Raw (through Adobe Bridge) to correct my CinemaDNG footage. When I import the footage into Premiere none of the adjustments I've made in Camera Raw appear on the footage. Pretty frustrating as Camera Raw is an incredible tool and I'd love to be able to use it with Premiere, especially since they are both Adobe creations. Anyone know a solution for this?

Hi Ekombokom,
I replied to you here: Re: Adobe Camera Raw changes not reflecting in Premiere Pro
Thanks,
Kevin

Computer not recognizing camera is plugged in (fire wire)

Help! I need to down load some video from a MiniDV to my computer ASAP -- I'm new at this, got the right fire wire cable but when it's plugged in and turned on, the computer is not registering that there's a camera -- it's a Panasonic miniDV.

Hi
my list
Cable
• Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
Other ways to import Your miniDV tape.
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Exchange formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
from LKN 1935.
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choise / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !
Yours Bengt W

FCE not recognizing camera

I have a Sony HDR-HC1. FCE HD will recognize the camera when in down-convert mode but not when in HD mode.
Any suggestions?

Not quite sure what you're asking. Do you mean the HD resolution on the camera? It shoots in 1080i. There are two settings for vcr mode. One is HD and the other is HD-DV mode in which it automatically down-converts the HD to SDV. FCE has no problem seeing and digitizing the video in that mode. But it will not see the camera when in HD mode.
Is there a specific setting in FCE for it to recognize HD? I couldn't seem to find it anywhere.
Thanks for your reply.

Quicktime Broadcaster not recognizing camera

I have a Canon Vixia HF10 and Quicktime Broadcaster will not recognize the camera. IMovie and Final Cut Pro recognize this camera on the same computer. Is there a fix for this?

I assume, the experts in the QT forum are better on that ..

Not recognizing camera

I'm not sure if I am posting this to the right community.
I have iphoto '11 on an imac- OS X 10.8.3 with a coolpix S9300 camera.
I have been connecting to iphoto with this camera without a problem for sometime now. However today, I have a problem. The computer doesn't appear to recoginize the camera. I have connected to the computer several different ways, have restarted the computer and have done several variations on turning the different devices on in different orders. Nothing seems to work. I'm hoping someone might have a suggestion.
thanks

try image capture in yur application folder and see it it wees yoru camera -- Doe you camera mount to the desktop so you can see it in the finder?
Probably what needs to happen is to get the photos off of it and tehn use your camera's format command to reformat the carda best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

FMLE is not recognizing camera in osx

I have OSX 10.9.3
FMLE 3.2
Flash Player 14.0.0.125
As of friday i was testing live streaming using FMLE and my internal camera on my MacBook. Today I have been trying everything i can think of for 3 hours and FMLE will not find my camera. I am at my wits end. Any suggestions?

I am sure this is a know issue and it appears to be without a fix. Each one of my MacPros with a FaceTime HD camera will not show up in FMLE 3.2 - Interestingly, the same issue applies with QuickTime Broadcast from Apple.
WireCast 5 on the other hand picks up the camera with no issues. It would seem that the only answer here is to wait for FMLE 3.3 or buy an external USB Camera. That does seem such a shame though.

Elements 7 not recognizing camera

what do I need to do to have my camera recognized to download photos? Yes, I have refreshed the list about 10 times, restarted my computer and all drivers are loaded. Can someone help? Thanks everyone for the effort.

Sounds like maybe your cable or the connection on the computer or camera is amiss.
Do you have something else with a usb cable to see if the computer reads that device?
Does your computer have a biult-in card reader or do you have a plugin card reader to try instaed of dorectly hooking up the camera?
It doesn't really sound like an photoshop elements specific problem.

Issue. Camera tethering. Nikon D7100 and D5100. Not recognizing camera(s). Tried all trouble shooting tips including deleting preference file.

Running mac OS 10.9.4 lightroom 5.6
Nikon D7100 and D5100. None is recognized by tethering. No problems with downloading pictures where each camera is correctly identified.
Tried all steps in Lightroom help with no result.

Is this the list of steps that you have tried?

Not Recognizing Camera When External Drive in Use

I have FCP3 installed successfully on my new G5, and when I use a external drive (G-drive Q), my camera (gl-2) is [missing]. When I turn the drive off, it works just fine. I've looked around the forum and the quicktime reciept thing doesn't seem like the solution (there are no 703, ### takes). Any Help? Please?!

. I'd rather not have to buy a new card. Any other solutions? Are people having the same problems with FCP 5? It seems like it is a case of you need to buy this to buy this to have this run on that, but only after buying this plus upgrading to that...
Well, video requires configurations that work. Firewire capture drives are not recommended.
You have an internal additional SATA bay. Spend $80.00 and install a 160 Gb SATA drive in it.
That's to me at least a minimum configuration.
It isn't an upgrade; it's an essential part of video editing.
